Chapter 389: Will You Compensate Us?
"Could it be that Li Xun really..."
Xiao Tianzheng looked at Xiao Chen, whose life was hanging by a thread. His face was filled with shock as he muttered to himself.
He did not finish his sentence.
After all, not far from the two of them, countless people had pricked up their ears, listening carefully to every word they said.
Li Xun had displayed overwhelming dominance just moments ago, and Combined with what the Feng Clan's servant had said earlier, more than a few people were beginning to wonder whether Li Xun was truly still a Saint.
As for exactly how he cultivated, no one knew.
But everyone wanted to understand just how powerful Li Xun had become.
It was simply because...
Never in countless ages had such a terrifying genius appeared. Rising to prominence in such a short time, he had already reached a level where he stood shoulder to shoulder with countless ancient powerhouses.
One had to remember, the geniuses of Li Xun's generation were still struggling within the Life and Death Realm.
Who among those in the Life and Death Realm would still dare address Li Xun as a fellow Daoist after seeing him now?
"It's hard to say."
The Sixth Ancestor shook her head.
Looking toward the direction where Li Xun had departed, she spoke meaningfully,
"What happened today is probably far from over."
She let out a soft sigh.
Waving her hand, she said somewhat dejectedly,
"Let's leave as well."
With that, she took Xiao Tianzheng with her, transforming into a streak of divine light.
Instead of returning to the Taiyin Divine Mansion, they headed directly toward the Xiao Clan.
Given Xiao Chen's current condition, only the Xiao Clan had any hope of saving him.
As for taking him to the Taiyin Divine Mansion...
They had no confidence that, after losing his Immortal Body, the divine mansion would still spare no effort to save him.
After the Xiao Clan departed, everyone else present exchanged glances before choosing to leave as well.
As they dispersed, news of today's battle between Xiao Chen and Xiao Fan was quickly spread by those with ulterior motives using Recording Stones.
In less than half an hour, many of the powerful forces across the Desolate Ancient Continent had already received the news.
The outcome of this battle surprised many people...
Yet, in another sense, it was entirely expected.
After all, everyone knew about the relationship between Xiao Fan and Li Xun.
Many had already predicted that Li Xun would appear at the critical moment.
What no one had anticipated, however, was that Li Xun's strength had become even more terrifying than it had been during the destruction of the Great Chu Dynasty.
Back then, the Great Chu Dynasty had also possessed a Saint King.
Had Li Xun possessed today's level of strength at that time, perhaps Huang Xi would never have needed to intervene.
Li Xun alone would have been enough to overturn the Great Chu Dynasty.
Only half a year had passed.
Yet merely a projection of Li Xun had forced the Xiao Clan's Sixth Ancestor to remain completely passive, not daring to make the slightest move.
This alone demonstrated how terrifying his strength had become.
At the very least, his power had to be on par with the Sixth Ancestor's.
Otherwise, she would never have been so constrained.
"Can a human being really cultivate at such a speed?"
Many people couldn't help but sigh inwardly.
For a time, the name Li Xun stirred enormous waves throughout countless factions.
It had practically become a taboo.
No one wanted to provoke him because no one could guarantee just how much stronger Li Xun would become the next time they met him.
Fortunately, most factions bore no grudges against him.
That realization brought them considerable relief.
Having reached such a level, there was little point in continuing to investigate how Li Xun had achieved it. At this stage, the answer hardly mattered anymore.
On the contrary, if their curiosity drove them to investigate Li Xun's background and ended up offending him, the losses would far outweigh any gains.
After all, very few factions could withstand the wrath of someone whose strength rivaled that of a Saint King.
Rather than doing that, building a good relationship with Li Xun was clearly the wiser choice.
In the eyes of countless people, the potential Li Xun had displayed meant that becoming a Great Emperor was only a matter of time.
As long as Li Xun remained on humanity's side, his astonishing cultivation speed would not be a disadvantage to the various factions. Instead, it would bring them immeasurable benefits.
Wasn't it said that the Otherworldly Demons were preparing for another invasion?
If Li Xun continued his heaven-defying rise, then when the demons crossed into this world, what awaited them might well be a once-in-hundreds-of-millions-of-years monstrous genius—Li Xun!
By then, no matter how many Otherworldly Demons came, they would likely be marching to their deaths.
What the ancient sages of this world had failed to accomplish...
Perhaps Li Xun would succeed.
That was to launch a counterattack into the world of the Otherworldly Demons and bring back the Blood Essence Stones.
Meanwhile.
Not far from the Taiyin Divine Mansion, halfway up a towering mountain, a waterfall cascaded down from the summit.
As it plunged, it formed a veil of mist around the mountainside, hazy and ethereal, making the place resemble a fairyland.
Within the mist, a small thatched cottage could vaguely be seen.
Around it, flower petals danced through the air while the melodious sound of a zither echoed across the surrounding space, creating an atmosphere of peace and tranquility.
A man dressed in white sat there.
He possessed an elegant, refined appearance and looked to be just over thirty years old.
Yet his hair had already turned gray, and an aura of age lingered around him, proving that he was far older than his youthful appearance suggested.
He stopped plucking the strings of his zither and looked across at his visitor.
Standing opposite him was Li Xun.
Dressed in a light azure robe, with sharp brows that slanted toward his temples and eyes as cold and brilliant as stars, Li Xun was surrounded by the aura of the Dao, spotless and detached from the mortal world, like an immortal who had descended from the heavens.
Behind him stood Huang Xi in silence.
Her expression was one of complete vigilance.
Her eyes never left the white-robed man.
From him, she sensed an overwhelming threat.
Although he appeared calm and unassuming, with not the slightest trace of an overwhelming aura, Huang Xi was certain of one thing:
If this man chose to make a move, it would be earth-shattering.
Even the countless star domains of the heavens could be destroyed.
Despite already being a Saint King herself, standing before the white-robed man left her with no sense of security whatsoever.
She felt like nothing more than an ant gazing up at a divine dragon soaring through the highest heavens—powerless and afraid.
At that moment—
Buzz!
A streak of light tore through the air and merged into Li Xun.
As the light faded, another figure appeared beside him.
It was none other than Xiao Fan.
The moment he saw Li Xun, Xiao Fan exclaimed happily, "Big Brother! When did you get here?"
Li Xun smiled.
"I've been here for a while."
Originally, he had intended to come in person.
However, because of the presence of this other individual, he had no choice but to remain here instead.
Thinking of this, he glanced toward the white-robed middle-aged man in the distance.
Li Xun already had some guesses about the man's identity.
But for the moment, he could not be completely certain.
The white-robed man smiled mysteriously as he looked at Xiao Fan.
"Your Immortal Body has been restored. No wonder Fellow Daoist Li Xun was willing to pay any price to save you."
"Throughout history, you are the first person capable of reviving the Immortal Body."
He then turned to Li Xun with a meaningful smile.
"Fellow Daoist Li..."
"Our Taiyin Divine Mansion has lost one Immortal Body."
"Shouldn't you compensate us with another one?"
